Now not everyone will be able to have a snack during the raid loading time.

Recently, Escape from Tarkov players have begun to notice that loading and searching for a raid takes significantly less time.

Now, Battlestate Games boss Nikita Buyanov has confirmed that the EFT developers have made some changes:

You may have already noticed - we are making changes to matchmaking [the player selection system], reducing waiting times. There are more changes ahead to reduce the time even further.

Fans from the «Tarkov Metamovement» community noted that "late loading into the location after the start of the raid has returned to the game." According to their observations, the "Waiting for players" stage has almost disappeared during loading into the raid.

According to their tests, loading into "Customs" or "Lighthouse" takes only two minutes on the Russia West and Russia Central servers (in the realities of "Tarkov", this is almost instantaneous).
